I am down to Zagg and Spigen. Which one is your preference if you bought or plan to buy one? If other, please post the brand/product and I will create a poll option for it.

For me, I care about clarity (not looking like there is something there, and 2, oleophobic coating to avoid smudges and fingerprints.
 
my preferred brand is Power Support. Hands down these are the best I've ever used. But they don't have the iPhones X version yet so I went with the Belkin on apple.com for time being.

I bought one off amazon..pack of 3 for 9.99. They have worked perfect for me.


I hear some people are using the extra to protect the back?
 
For me I want e2e.. I was able too hold a zagg up to a case and wow there would have been a huge gap on the sides so I didn’t buy it.

Same as poster above. Bought off Amazon, 3 pack for 10 bucks. Spigen was backlogged till mid November.

Those aren’t glass though, right? Op asked about glass and 3 packs I’ve seen are film

Oh cool they are glass. Let us see how they look up close on the phone.. I’m anxious to see the curve, the edge and just figure out what will cover without a gap.

Will do. I figure 10.00 bucks I’ll try it and if it doesn’t work, not a huge loss
 
I prefer the ones that wrap around and look smooth.
I ended up getting this one cause all the sensors in the notch are cut out. I noticed a few full screen protectors like this but they had a film over the sensors and some where even like 10% of the sensors were covered. So I figured this would be the best bet.

Your link brings up a ton of items.. can you recheck it? Or not weird it worked the second time
Strange it works for me (in UK) that’s what it looks like.
The amazon title is below:

iPhone X Screen Protector Front + Premium Back, KuGi Full Coverage Curved Tempered Glass Protector [Bubble Free] [Scratch Resistant], Fit for iPhone X Smartphone, Transparent

Thanks.. I edited my post because it worked the second try. Appreciate that though.
 
I’m not sure if I want a screen protector... might be weird swiping up over the edge of the glass.
 
Verizon store has one called Sonix, it’s expensive at $37.49 and that’s with my discount. I always go Zagg but Verz don’t list it. I’m going to go back next week and let them install something on it.
 
Only the Belkin one that Apple sells, as they use a machine that installs it and it is flawless. Can’t be beat! :)

Is that done at Apple stores only? My questions will be is it e2e and can you use a case? With almost no bezel I’m wondering how easy swiping will be anyway, and I don’t want a glass edge there either

Since the days of the palm pilot, I’ve never used a screen protector. Never had a single scratch on the glass screen. Heck, the only reason I use a case is to make the phone less slippery.

The problem I have with most of the "Other" screen glass protectors listed here are Zagg, Spigen, and G-Color are the only glass out of all the glasses that have fingerprint/smudge resistance. So it is only between those 3.

I am not sure if full screen coverage is absolutely necessary, I plan to use mine with the iPhone's Leather case, which wraps along the sides of the phone. I've heard the case sometimes interfere with the screen protector (when you stick the phone in, it catches on the screen protector/glass and pushes it up.

Another worry I have is whether after you install, if you remove it after several years, will the glass be perfectly clean? Or will the adhesive be so bad that you can't get it off of the phone cleanly?

I don’t know what other cases are like, but I’ve read Spigen has rounded edges and the Zagg has beveled edges. if they are different I don’t know, but sounds safe enough?

I think the JETech is the best compromise of price and quality. Has by far the best reviews on Amazon for previous versions of the iPhone, and I’ve been very happy with them.
